Formula Nippon is too japanese LOL.
No, seriously now, I didn't like the new cars and the front wing doesnt make any sense to me, to the performance point view.

I personally like the new cars. Interesting looking front wing, and a cool concept on the roll hoop. |

That front wing must reduce the drag caused by the wheels substantially i would say, my god would I love to see the CFD work of that car. |

Oshima did F3 Euroseries last year and was kind of a failure. |

Unfortunatelly the world crisis hit Japan badly, and Formula Nippon is suffering with this problems, the grid for 2009 season will have only those 13 drivers that are in the results of the tests.

I still can't get over how that wing ruins the car. I even like the new F1 cars better (the Brawn particularly is 500 times better looking than that monster). |

Making it visual for the paying spectators and TV viewers alike. Great idea, and the cars look really nice!!! |

great looking cars! The only thing I find ugly is the roll bar. But perhaps the idea behind it with the lights will work and be an interesting fact during the races. |

Beautiful car! Reminds me of the good old Champcar Reynards that everyone keeps crying after I wish we could get some coverage in Northern Europe...... |
